The Kletztonian Quartet (75 min)
Philip Lipton on clarinet and bass clarinet, Nolan Tecklenburg on keyboard, Roman Peckard on bass, and Matt Masie on percussion come together to form the Kleztonian Quartet. Featuring local musicians with dynamic music careers in the rich Charleston music scene, the quartet brings infectious energy and toe tapping melodies. With Klezmer at it's core, expect to hear a variety of Eastern European countries represented. The Quartet's original compositions, with musical roots in the Balkan regions, are filled with improvisations that are so engaging that you won't be able to resist moving your body with the rhythm. The Kleztonians fuse Eastern European music with Hip-Hop, Jazz and Progressive Rock to create an inspiring experience for all listeners.
